Volvo Penta

Sandvik Construction has developed a new generation UH450E track-mounted tertiary crusher. The choice of engine power fell on a Volvo Penta TAD1651GE.

Following market demands and special requests from customers, Sandvik decided to develop a new, more efficient mobile tertiary crusher with an innovative structure of the unit which would guarantee high screening performance. This new unit now fills a gap in the Sandvik range of crushers and has become a productive unit of highest quality ballast end products and a number of new effective characteristics.

The new Sandvik UH450E track-mounted tertiary crusher is an effective and economical solution to customer demands. Unlike previous product generations, the UH450E is electrically powered. The process is powered by a Volvo Penta power pack model TAD1651GE power generation engine installed in a soundproof container. Compared with previous models, this much-requested feature improves the energy efficiency of the unit. Low fuel consumption, uptime and the good reputation of Volvo Penta engines were Sandvik’s main reasons for selecting a Volvo Penta engine to the new UH450E crusher.

In 2011, Volvo Penta and Sandvik Mining and Construction AB signed a cooperation agreement with the goal to enhance the long-term competitiveness of Sandvik’s products. This project is yet another step in this long-term partnership.
